| Abstract: | One of the most persistent themes in modern African literature is that of the relationship between the European woman and the African man. How successfully the writers have handled this theme will tell us a lot about their response to their recent history, the rape of their continent by the Eureopean powers over the last four centuries. This paper analyses this theme in five novels and shows that Africans have not yet liberated themselves from their past. The novels are: 'The edifice' (1971) by Kole OMOTOSO; 'A few nights and days' (1970) by Mbella Sonne DIPOKO; 'No past, no present, no future' (1977) by Yulisa Amadu MADDY; 'A wreath for Udomo' (1956) by Peter ABRAHAMS; and 'Season of migration to the north' (1969) by Tayeb SALIH.
